Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1469

Bestie: [Care to elaborate?]

After Lorelei explained the situation.

Her best friend was quiet for a long time before typing back: [Yeah, maybe you are.]

Given how Harold had acted over their three years of marriage, this sudden attentiveness was extremely bizarre.

Taking personal care of her and cooking three meals a day.

It really was strange.

Lorelei: [Do you think he has some hidden agenda? Like he's buttering me up so I'll agree to a specific condition during the divorce?]

Like asking her to publicly clarify that the divorce was entirely her fault?

Or maybe having her explain things to his old flame on his behalf?

Honestly, Harold had treated her quite well.

If he had a condition, he could just ask. There was no need for all this.

Bestie: [Think about it a little harder. Is there any chance... Dr. Houston has fallen in love with you?]

Lorelei's eyes widened, her rosy lips pressing into a tight line as she typed faster: [Girl, you're more delusional than I am.]

She and Harold had been married for three years, and the total amount of time they'd actually spent together didn't even add up to two months.

They had barely interacted at all.

Even when they did cross paths, they treated each other like polite guests, staying completely out of each other's way.

When would Harold have ever found the time to fall for her?!

Bestie: [Lori, a person's gotta dream. What if Harold's brain just short-circuited?]

Lorelei: [Are you sure you aren't just insulting me right now?]

Bestie: [Wow, you caught me!]

With so many men in the world, her best friend couldn't figure out why Lorelei was so obsessed with this one.

It had to be Harold.

Sure, he was handsome and had a great body, but he walked around with a face like stone all day.

Only Lorelei would put up with him.

If it were her, she would have kicked a cold, unfeeling rock like him straight to the curb a long time ago.

Lorelei: [You just don't understand.]

It was a long story, and Lorelei didn't want to drown in memories right now.

—

She drifted in and out of a restless sleep all night.

When she finally woke up.

She caught a strange smell.
